  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Galatians 2:20

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

*Enter - Emo music plays in background, created by men with bad haircuts. Soon, cheesy explosion noises from someone's mouth are the drumroll entrance into a smoky room full of dirty clothes, illuminated only by a 20 inch television set. The smell of sweat and blood and cinnamon oatmeal attack the senses.
Exit scene to enter a volcano, erupting with drama and bitter chocolate. Laughter and tears become one as you enter the final scene, a bright light, hot as the sun, melts away all past scenes, creating the beginning of the next story...

Many ups, many downs. Traveling through it I've gotten my hands dirty.... and still far from clean hands til the end I am sure. Some of it unwanted, unexpected... but I have to say all of it beautiful when I step back from where I am..... even if Im not always at the top.

Can't think of anything for my life as a whole, but my CF-existence can be best summed up in these two titles, one song and one documentary:

Alien Nation (Song by Scorpions)
I had had very little previous contact with American culture and especially with American Conservative Christianity before arriving in the CF. Coming from Scandinavian culture, the promised land of secularism, welfare, feminism and liberalism, I was used to think of those things as a norm and the culture shock in CF was a huge one. I'm mostly over that part by now though, or at least I've learnt to pretend that I somehow understand you guys ;)

Cruel Sea (Name of a documentary about prehistoric seas)
I've met fun, awesome, thoughtful and very interesting people in CF whom I'd be happy to actually meet in real life, but whenever I think of that, I soon enough remember this tiny little watery obstacle called The Atlantic Ocean. In other forums I've been active, it used to be like "hey, do you wanna go to have a coffee some time?" but in CF it's like "Hey do you want to take a flight with a price tag of 2 000 $ and which lasts for a day or should I or... actually nevermind, let's forget about that...."
